Fifth pizza delivery driver robbed at Taunton Woods

The number of pizza-delivery drivers robbed at Taunton Woods apartment complex during the past three and a half weeks has risen to five.

Police said the most recent armed robbery was Friday night just before 9:30 p.m.

That’s one day after a driver for Domino’s Pizza said he was robbed just after 10 p.m. by a man with a handgun on the grounds of the 840 County St. housing development.

The Domino’s driver, two drivers working for Papa Gino’s Pizzeria, and a Pizza Hut delivery driver reportedly all were robbed in the same complex by a man holding what appeared to be a semi-automatic handgun.

All those robberies, police said, occurred at Building C, which is set back near the woods behind the Taunton Woods rental office.

No one, so far, has been injured, police said.

Victims have described the gunman as a slim black man, possibly as tall as 6 feet. The Domino’s Pizza driver told police the robber had an accomplice nearby, who he also described as a black male.

Most of the victims told police they were robbed after walking up to the building’s security door. The female driver for Papa Gino’s, however, told police the gunman let her inside the foyer and followed her up to the second floor before robbing her.

It’s not clear if Friday night’s robbery occurred at the same Building C.

Details of the incident were not available on Saturday. Police said a full report had not been written and a press release was not available.
